This set of three volumes aims to describe the recent progress in nonlinear differential equations and nonlinear dynamical systems (both continuous and discrete). Written by experts, each chapter is self-contained and aims to clearly illustrate some of the mathematical theories of nonlinear systems. These volumes should be suitable for graduate and postgraduate students in mathematics, the natural sciences, and engineering sciences, as well as for researchers (both pure and applied) interested in nonlinear systems. The common theme throughout all the volumes is on solvable and integrable nonlinear systems of equations and methods/theories that can be applied to analyze those systems. Some applications are also discussed.
Features
- Clearly illustrates the mathematical theories of nonlinear systems and their progress to both the non-expert and active researchers in this area.
- Suitable for graduate students in mathematics, applied mathematics and some of the engineering sciences.
- Written in a careful pedagogical manner by those experts who have been involved in the research themselves, with each contribution being reasonably self-contained.
Norbert Euler is currently a visiting professor at the International Center of Sciences A.C. (Cuernavaca, Mexico). He has been teaching a wide variety of mathematics courses at both the undergraduate and postgraduate level at several universities worldwide for more than 25 years. He is an active researcher and has to date published over 80 peer reviewed research articles in the subject of nonlinear systems and is a co-author of several books. He is also involved in editorial work for some international journals.
Maria Clara Nucci is associate professor of mathematical physics at University of Perugia, where she graduated in mathematics summa cum laude. Between 1986 and 1991 she was a visiting assistant professor at Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, US. She has also been invited by universities in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Sweden, UK, and the US. She has presented her research at many international congresses and workshops. From 1995-2009 she was associate editor of Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, and since 2005 has been a member of the editorial board of Journal of Nonlinear Mathematical Physics. She is author or co-author of more than 100 publications, and has wide ranging research interests, from fluid to rigid body mechanics, epidemiology to astrophysics, and history of mathematics to quantum mechanics.
Da-Jun Zhang is currently a full professor at Shanghai University in China. His research focuses on integrability of discrete and continuous nonlinear systems, and particularly, discrete integrable systems. He has published over 120 peer reviewed research articles in the subject of integrable systems. He has served as scientific committee member for some international conferences. He is also involved in editorial work for some international journals
